Well, it only seems like a few weeks ago that we were busy potting on and planting out but now we are well into our autumn jobs.  Today’s big task was to remove the sweet peas that have given our plot a good splash of colour for the last few months. 

Whilst Pilla was getting busy with the secateurs (and running away from the spiders that seem to love hiding out in the sweet peas.  In fairness to Pilla the spiders were huge, I mean they must have been at least the size of a small pea) I set about tidying up the greenhouse.  We had let it all get a bit overgrown and there were plenty of old leaves hanging around in there.  Annoyingly enough, there were also plenty of big fat caterpillars eating our tomatoes and aubergines.

We are still getting lots of things from our greenhouse, in fact I think we had our biggest harvest in there today.  For all our cutting down things, we do still have the odd burst of colour, with the flowers at the front of the plot doing their best to last into the autumn.

The only other thing left to do was add in some more manure onto the recently emptied beds and that was it for today.
